Getting the body contents of an email programmatically

[Johan Radivoj]

Hello,

my $employer adds a rather annoying and unnecessary banner to any incoming email. I would like to strip away that banner when I open a message for reading. I found some inspiration on modifying messages from a previous discussion in the mailing list, but was unable to modify it successfully.

Stripping down the function, If I attempt [0] interactively, body-string will contain the email body contents. If I attempt while hooking into mu4e-view-mode-hook [1], then body-string is empty.

Separately, I found [2] will return the subject of an open email successfully, but when attempting the same with  :body or :text, nil is returned.

What's the idiomatic way of programmatically retrieving the body contents when I have opened up an email in a buffer?

[0]:

(defun my/mail-banner-strip ()
  "Strip banner from emails"
  (interactive)
  (message-goto-body)
  (let* ((body-string (buffer-string)))
    (message "Contents body-string: %s" body-string)))

[1]:

(add-hook 'mu4e-view-mode-hook 'my/mail-banner-strip)

[2]:
(mu4e-message-field (mu4e-message-at-point) :subject)

Hello Johan,

I'm facing a similar problem and my current solution is:

Hi Zhengyi,

That actually does exactly what I need, and much cleaner than what I was attempting to walk through and understand. Thank you!
